Dr. Rajani S. Sadasivam, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of
Quantitative Health Sciences, Division of Health Informatics and Implementation, at the
University of Massachusetts Medical School. His overall research interest is to integrate
the use of technology to improve health outcomes. He approaches this as a meta-composite
systems problem. He views meta-composite systems development as focused on three
inter-related aspects: integrated information (i.e., all relevant information is
connected), integrated users (i.e., all users are connected to each other), and providing
dynamic and enhanced interaction to users. To this end, meta-composite systems research
encompasses technological, social, and behavioral aspects. He researches software
technologies like service-oriented architecture, business process engineering, web
services, semantic-web, social networking, robotic, and mobile technologies. His Ph.D.
research focused on developing a user-centered-design and service-oriented framework for
developing systems with process-personalized and customized support for human
interaction. Currently, he is working with biomedical and behavioral researchers to
develop meta-composite systems in the following areas: robotic technologies for older and
minority adult care; social networking systems for health promotion and randomized
clinical trials; collaborative computing and biomedical information systems for
translational science; research integration and automation systems for biomedical
research; mobile-decision support systems for HIV dosing; evidence-based research
literature search and integration systems; electronic medical, health and personal record
integration systems; and, health games technology systems for health promotion.
